The completely stupid, yet apparent glorification of sorrow
Hola gente! Llevo casi una semana de no aparecer por aquí y les pido disculpas si me han extrañado. Mi vida ha estado un poco enredada (aunque súper súper cool) y no he sabido encontrar el tiempo para escribir. Bueno sin mas excusas aquí los dejo con mi nuevo post en el que intento analizar un fenómeno de mi generación que me molesta sobre manera, la glorificación de la tristeza y mas que nada el negativismo.
Hi guys! It's been about a week since I've been around and I'm sorry for that if you missed me in any way. My life has been a little crazy (it's been really really cool though) and I kind of didn't figure out how to keep my blog updated. Well without any more excuses here I leave you guys with my new blog post in which I make an attempt to analyze the phenomenom of the glorification of depression and negativism that my generation has decided to worship, and which I hate dearly.
Creo que el 99.9% de población del mundo esta de acuerdo conmigo en que estar triste o deprimido no es en ninguna manera divertido. A pesar de esto, mi generación a decidido que es súper chevere glorificar la tristeza y la depresión como si fuera lo mas hermoso del mundo. Como ya saben probablemente si leen este blog, yo soy amante de tumblr. Algo que encuentro ahí a menudo son fotos artísticas con quotes totalmente deprimentes con lindos paisajes de fondo o hasta fotos de cortadas, mostrándolas como cicatrícez de victoria. Yo no se ustedes, pero a mi toda la vida las cicatrices de self-harm me han dado fóbia/pánico. No crean que es porque no respeto a las personas que lo hacen o han hecho o que pienso que solo lo hacen para llamar la atención. A mi me me da mucha rabia cuando no entiendo. Me hace sentir estúpida y me sofoco rápido (sí, se que tengo que trabajar en eso). No entiendo que podría poseer a alguien para cortarse a si mismo. Me da mucho dolor la idea de la miseria que deben sentir y se me aguan los ojos con solo pensarlo.
I'm positive that 99.9% of humanity agrees with me in that being sad or depressed is in no way fun. In spite of this, my generation has decided it's super cool to glorify being sad as if it was the most beautiful thing to ever exist. As you may already know, if you read this blog I really love tumblr. Something I find there often are artsy pictures with totally depressing quotes with like pretty scenarios as backgrounds or sometimes there's even pictures of people showing of their self-harm scars as someone would show off a trophy. I don't know about you guys, but all my life I've been phobic of self-harm scars. Don't think that it's because I don't like self-harming people or because I think that they're trying to call attention or anything. Something that gets me really mad is not understanding, it makes me feel really stupid. And I sincerely do not understand what would posses someone to cut himself/herself. Just the idea of the pain and misery they must feel makes my eyes water.
NO entiendo porque alguien quisiera glorificar eso. Gente que no esta deprimida llamando esas fotos hermosas, como si la tristeza fuera the best way to go, casi que invitando a los demás a expresar sus penas de la misma mánera y a estar deprimidos tambien. Eso no esta bien. Las cortadas de alguien no deben llamarse hermosas, estas personas necesitan ayuda! No otras personas que les digan que lo que están haciendo esta bien y que es "hermoso" cuando no lo es, es triste. La gente, especialmente los adolescentes tienen que entender que "depresión" y "belleza" no son lo mismo. Entiendo que las cosas pueden ser hermosas a pesar de ser tristes, pero hay demasiada gente que los trata como si fueran sinónimos.
I DON'T understand why somebody would want to glorify such a feeling. People that are not depressed calling these pictures beautiful, as if sorrow was the best way to go. Almost as if inviting everyone else to be depressed as well and cut to relieve their pain. This is in no way okay. Somebody's cuts should not be called beautiful, this people need help! Not more people encouraging them and calling their self-harm "beautiful" when it clearly isn't, it's sad. People, teenagers specially need to understand that "sad" does not equal "pretty". I understand that something can be very beautiful in spite of being really sad, but those are exceptions. These two are not synonyms.
Entiendo lo difícil que puede ser la vida, pero a pesar de todo es HERMOSA, y mientras mas leo The Secret y veo otras cosas de self-help y positivismo mas ganas me dan de vivir feliz como Dios manda. Les prometo que si les hes difícil sigan intentandolo, es posible ser feliz. Yo era una persona sumamente negativa y cambie ese aspecto de mi para este 2014 y les puedo decir que ese pequeño cambio de perspectiva le ha dado a mi vida un giro de 360 para lo mejor. Aprecio a todas y cada una de las personas que leen mi blog y en serio les deseo lo mejor, por favor ámense a ustedes mismos!
Coman saludable, vístanse para ustedes mismos no para impresionar a nadie, ejercítense, sean agradecidos por el simple hecho de estar vivos y sean felices.
Los amo.

Life can be really tough, I know but in spite of it all its BEAUTIFUL and the more I read the secret and other self-help books and other positive stuff more excited I get about living happy, like the Lord wants me to. I promise that if looking at the bright side is hard for you, you need to keep trying! You owe it to yourself:) I was a really negative person and this 2014 I decided to be my best self, and that meant as positive as I could be, and I promise you that just that change of perspective has given my life a spin of 360 for the best. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read my posts a lot and I really do wish you guys the best, please please please love yourselves. Eat healthy, dress like you like to dress, not to impress anybody else, work out, be grateful to be alive and just be happy!
Love you ALL.

Tiempo al tiempo
Sin duda alguna hoy es otro de esos días que no se me ocurre absolutamente nada que escribir e hago un intento de escribir un par de lineas que no sean tanto una zandes (se escribe así) para ver si logro entretener a alguien aparte de a mi misma. De todas maneras, estaba hablando con una amiga hace poco y llegamos a la conclusión que en verdad todos los blogs son estúpidos. Son literalmente awebasones en la cabeza de alguien mas y como no lo pensaste tu se vuelve medio interesante (si Susana, estoy hablando de ti si lees esto.)
Hoy estaba pensando en el tiempo. ¿Cuanto tiempo es mucho y cuanto tiempo es poco? En verdad no se. No me gusta decir que las cosas son relativas pero el tiempo parece serlo. Estar haciendo ejercicio por un año suena como un millón de tiempo, algo que diría alguien súper dedicado y con probablemente un cuerpaso fuera de serie. En cambio si es un bebe de un año suena exactamente como eso, un bebe. Se nos olvida la cantidad de tiempo que es 365 días. Tengo 18 años, y soy muy mala en matemáticas así que no voy a sacar la cuenta de cuantos días esos son, pero deben ser bastantes y nunca he cumplido mi lista entera de resoluciones de nuevo año. Es mas cada año escribo casi que las mismas tres pendejadas: La clásica dieta, la de hacer ejercicio y la de hacer amigos nuevos. La tercera siempre es la mas fácil, aunque por alguna razón siempre se me ha dificultado mas es mantenerlos. El inicial "Hola, soy Gaby" se me viene muy fácil, como sabrán mis followers de twitter. Pero supongo que si no mantengo esas amistades al final no son amistades, si no conocidos.
Creo que llevo casi dos meses leyendo el mismo libro, Insurgent de Veronica Roth, cosa que me parece inverosímil. Yo juraba que apenas terminara la secundaria me autoproclamaria una book worm oficial. Bueno, normal. Creo que es cierto si digo que me he mantenido ocupada.
Regresando al tema del tiempo. Dato random acerca de mi: todos los días trato de ordenar mi cuarto en un lapso de 3 canciones y por lo general lo logro. Lo gracioso del tema es que todos los dias antes de empezar, creo que no voy a acabar, que mi desorden es muy grande. Es increíble todo lo que se puede hacer en un par de minutos de concentración. Pienso que sobre-estimamos lo que podemos hacer en un día y subestimamos lo que se puede hacer en un rato. Las películas duran 2 horas, y nos cuentan una historia que muchas veces parece larga y detallada. Creo que podemos hacer eso mismo con nuestros días.

--------------------
Without a doubt, today is another of those days that I have no idea what to blog about and I attempt to write a few lines that are not too stupid to see if maybe I get to entertain someone, apart from myself. Anyways I was talking to a friend the other day and we arrived to the conclusion that all blogs are stupid. They're literally someone's random thoughts scattered all over a web page and since you did not think about them, you end up finding them entertaining. (Yes Susana, I'm talking about you if you ever read this haha)
Today I was thinking about time. How long is a lot of time and how long is too little? I really don't know. I hate saying that thinks are relative but I kind of feel time gets a free pass. For example, working out everyday for a whole years sounds like a lot and something someone with a lot of dedication, and probably a really hot body does. But saying that a child has lived for only a year sounds like so little, Not even a child, but more like a baby. When it is clearly the same amount of time, 365 days. I'm 18 and I suck at math so there's no way I'm counting how many days I've lived, but you probably figured they've been a lot and I've never fully achieved my New Year's resolutions. Thinking about it I kind of right the same 3 things every year: diet, working out and new friends. The third one is always the easiest. The only actual difficulty for me in it is keeping the friendship. The initial "Hola, soy Gaby" comes very easily. Thinking about it, if I don't really keep the friendships they're not really my friends, they're more like my acquaintances.
I think I've spent almost two months reading the same book, Insurgent by Veronica Roth---> thing I find so weird. I really thought that as soon as I finished high school I'd be the biggest book worm alive. I kind of being busy though, so I guess I get my tardiness.
Going back to the "time" topic, random fact about me: Everyday I spend 3 songs picking up my room, and generally I get it clean in the time due. It's funny how every day before I start I doubt if I'll finish on time and I always do. It is amazing what we can accomplish and a few minutes. I think we tend to over-estimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can accomplish in just a little while. Movies last two hours and they tell huge stories.We should be more like movies and use our time well ...

Trabajo?
Esto de ser pasante por mas de parecer que no hago nada, excepto seguir a mi jefa por ahí todo el día cansa un millón! He paseado por todo el país. En solo mi primer día fui a dos reuniones de logística, una con el ballet nacional y otra con Runners pty para una carrera/caminata. Hoy aprendí y me di cuenta una vez mas que todo es mas complicado de lo que parece siempre y que hay un millón de gente envuelta en los pequeños proyectos que pasan desapercibidos. Todos deberíamos ser mas agradecidos! Como fue mi primer día en verdad metida en la oficina, no tengo ninguna anécdota que compartir aunque espero tenerlas pronto!
XXO,
Gaby
Being an intern is exhausting! Even if it looks like I do nothing but follow my boss around all day. I feel like I've been traveling around the whole city. In just my first day actually being in the office I went to two logistic meetings, one with the national ballet and another with Runners pty for race/ family walk. Today I learned once again that everything is more complicated than what it seems, and their's a ton of people involved in the making of even the smallest projects that go by unnoticed. We should all be more grateful of everything! Like I said before, this was my first day actually being in the office so I really don't have any fun anecdote to share, but I hope to have some soon!

2014
Hola, yo soy Gaby y este es mi 2014. A pesar de todo lo sucedido el año pasado, puedo decir que aprendí muchísimo y estoy verdaderamente emocionada por aplicarlo a un nuevo año. Aquí compartiré mis nuevas experiencias, este ya parece ser un año fascinante y solamente es el primer día! Con un nuevo trabajo (escribiré de el y subiré vlogs a youtube mas adelante) mi proyecto fama, o mas bien mi proyecto "deja tu marca" se siente cada vez mas cera. Bienvenido 2014, estoy DEMASIADO feliz que llegaste!

Hi, my name is Gaby and this is my 2014. Even though 2013 wasn't the best, I can surely say that I learned a lot and that I'm super excited to apply my learning to the new year. Here I'll share my new experiences. This year already seems fascinating and it's only January 1st. With a new job (that I will write and vlog about later) my fame project, or more so my "leave a mark" project feels closer than ever. Welcome 2014! I am EXTREMELY happy you're here!
